Madison's Angels at the End Zone -- CANCELLED
Our annual Madison's Angels at the End Zone fundraiser has been
hit by several sacks, fumbles and interceptions over this past year. We must sadly inform you that we will NOT be able to
host this event this year as we had previously hoped to. Our last hit and final interception came when the Buckeye Hall
of Fame Cafe CLOSED it's doors on Dec. 31st, 2009. We are now without a venue for Madison's Angels at the End Zone. We
have not been able to secure another comparable location which would accommodate this magnitude of an event without
running into a huge financial hit.

We are still in need of a MIRACLE and ask that in HONOR of Madison's 13th birthday on 2-4-10 that you consider making a
donation for $13 to recognize each year of Madison's continued fight with this horrible disease SMA! You can make an
online donation by clicking on the link to the right entitled I-Give to OSU or please mail your check made payable to
our name and address on the sidebar.

THANK YOU ALL for your support! We can't do this without YOU! Please contact us if you would like to VOLUNTEER & join us
in this fight!

3rd. Annual SMA Candle Lighting. On Saturday August 26 approximately 35 friends, braved the weather and came out
to Murphy Park (shelter and playground) behind Handel's Ice Cream in Powell, to honor all the children and adults living
with SMA and to remember always those who we have lost to this dreaded disease. Just before 7PM there was a huge gust of
wind knocking some of the angel pictures over and stirring up the balloons. I think some of the angels flew in just in
time to kick things off. It looked like rain all evening but there really were some angels among us. It was a beautiful
evening. There was plenty of ice cream to go around. Messages were attached to the balloons and released one by one while
everyone sang Happy Birthday to Austin in heaven on his first angel birthday. The candles were lit and glowed brightly. We
honored each angel in a moment of silence and prayer. Just after 9PM it started to drizzle and the angels left to play
with their balloons. Its been a difficult year of losses and illnesses. We appreciate everyone for showing their support.
THANK YOU! See pictures HERE.

As far as I am concerned, Ami Ankilewitz is the movie star of the year. Phil Hall,
FilmThreat

39 POUNDS OF LOVE is the inspirational and humorous non-fiction account of a remarkable man and a remarkable
journey. Ami Ankilewitz was diagnosed with an extremely rare and often fatal form of SMA/2 that severely limits his
physical growth and movement yet at 36, he continues to outlive a doctor's prediction of life expectancy by 30 years.

Ami, who weighs only 39 pounds, works in Israel as a 3D graphics animator despite the fact that his bodily motion is
limited to a single finger and in doing so, continues to redefine notions of a "limited" life. The film follows Ami's
journey in search of the doctor who predicted his early demise. Along this personal trek, Ami attempts to come to
terms with another major incident from his past and to complete a lifelong dream: To finally ride a Harley Davidson
motorcycle. 39 POUNDS OF LOVE is an emotional roller coaster, a fascinating, humorous and truly inspirational ride
through life with someone who embodies the very term: Carpe Diem - Seize the day!
